Custom Nautical Art Compass Rose Yacht Table / Wall Medallion With Abalone Inlay on 2040-parts.com
East Weymouth, Massachusetts, United States

These were the nicest woods I had at the time. The solid Curly Maple edge came from a board I found online. It's perfect grain consistency and figuring with no dark spots is very unusual. I chose more of the same for the ring and light compass points. There is Cherry behind the points and the border is Bubinga Burl with Paua Abalone strips. The dark points are figured Pearwood. I accented the points with thin dark Rosewood strips. The background is rich grained Ribbon Sapeli. The seashell inlays are Greenheart Abalone, Paua Abalone and Pacific Oyster Mother of Pearl. This compass took about 8 months on and off to finish. Completed September 2013, it stands 54" tall / wide as a wall medallion and 42" X 42" as a table. It has 2 flood coats of ultra clear epoxy for a durable mirror gloss but has no uv protection. See my website at Custom Nautical Art dot com. Thanks for looking, Bill.

Jaguar Land Rover made £1 billion last year
Thu, 26 May 2011The 2012 Jaguar XF & 2012 Range Rover Evoque - JLR's latest models Who’d have believed it just a year or two ago? Jaguar Land Rover has reported a turnover for the year to the end of March 2011 of £9.9 billion and has made a profit (after tax) of £1.04 billion – almost £3 million a day. From proffering the begging bowl in the direction of a short-sighted Labour government in 2009 – and getting nothing without untenable conditions attached - and making plans to close one of its three UK plants, JLR’s renaissance has been astonishing.
